ZADD throws error with dict

While trying to add elements to a zset, I get the following error stacktrace

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 6, in <module>
    r.zadd("KEY", kwargs=dict)
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/redis/client.py", line 2057, in zadd
    return self.execute_command('ZADD', name, *pieces)
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/redis/client.py", line 573, in execute_command
    return self.parse_response(connection, command_name, **options)
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/redis/client.py", line 585, in parse_response
    response = connection.read_response()
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/redis/connection.py", line 582, in read_response
    raise response
redis.exceptions.ResponseError: value is not a valid float

The code I was trying to run was

import redis
r = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=2)

dict = {'akarshit': 1.1}
r.zadd("KEY", kwargs=dict)

Is there something I am missing or is this a bug with py-redis?

It should be:

r.zadd("KEY", **dict)

@andymccurdy hi… is the issue of redis.exceptions.RedisError: ZADD requires an equal number of values and scores when adding dict object, still open? I’m using redis version 3.0.6 connected using redis-python
